Introduction 1.1 About the Licensing Authority and Licensing News Westminster City Council is the largest Licensing Authority in the United Kingdom receiving over 10,000 applications each year. The council is responsible for considering and determining licence applications for over 60 licensing regimes, ranging from premises that sell alcohol to the performance of hypnotism. The council does attempt to inform local residents and businesses of applications where the relevant statutory requirements permit local residents to make representations or objections. For certain applications the council will send letters to local residents and businesses. For these applications the council will also place lamppost notices near the relevant premises informing local residents and businesses of individual applications in the local area. Licensing News is a weekly summary of some of the valid applications that have been received or determined by the council the previous week. This document also contains information that may be useful for local residents and businesses concerning forthcoming Licensing Sub-Committee hearings, where the majority opposed applications are considered; current public consultation on licensing matters and useful contact information. 1.2 Information about applications or decisions If further information is required relating to an application or a decision listed within this document it can be found via Westminster’s online public register. The register enables interested parties the ability to view applications and other relevant public documents. In addition to the council’s public register it also provides Licensing Sub- Committee agendas, reports and decisions online. These online tools have been designed to assist local residents and businesses consider how a licence application may affect their home or personal life; or affect their business.

News and Information 2.1 Annual Fee Invoicing and Payments The Licensing Team is planning on introducing invoices for annual fee payments for licences and permits that have been issued under the provisions of the Licensing Act 2003 and Gambling Act 2005 later this year. In order to move towards this new process the Council will need to ensure that the information it contains associated with annual fee payments is correct. In June a letter will be sent to all licence and permit holders requiring them to provide some information to enable this transition to invoicing. Once we have set an implementation date for the introduction of sending out invoices for annual fees we will inform all licensees via letter or email. In the meantime please continue to make annual fee payments prior to the anniversary of the grant of the licence or permit to ensure that your licence is not suspended, or in the case of gambling licences and permits revoked. The Licensing Team has a dedicated annual fees payment line for Licensing Act 2003 and Gambling Act 2005 premises licence holders. The annual fee can be made via a credit or debit card by calling 020 7641 3401. Annual fee payments can also be made via cheque which must be made payable to Westminster City Council. The cheque should be accompanied by a covering letter which sets out which premises the annual fee payment relates too. The cheque and covering letter must be sent to: The Licensing Team Westminster City Council 4th Floor East Westminster City hall 64 Victoria Street London SW1E 6QP If you have any questions relating to the annual fee payment or any other matter please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Licensing Team via 020 7641 3401 or email [email protected].
